    Bushcraft survival wilderness living books

    Are there any new books on the market worth reading? Any bushcraft or survival manuals that aren't just a rehash of a rehash of some 1940's military survival guide? Or, and I'm more hopeful here, any books about wilderness living, doesn't need to be a manual, in fact a good true left story...

    Who was the genius who conned us into believing we need a fixed blade knife for bushcraft?

    Well I imagine that got your attention didn't it? But it's a serious question. Let me explain, when we look at the history of mankind a fixed blade knife wasn't the main tool option. Otzi the iceman, for example, is probably the earliest none written example of a outdoorsmans tool choices...

    Is it me?

    Am I the only person on this forum who seems to notice and get fed up with the amount of members who hijack threads with nothing but negativity? If I post a picture of something I've made do I really care if 'dingo dog bag' would have made it bigger? Or if I'm chatting about kit or what I...
